Bajoran Prophecy

"...Well, Bajoran Prophecies seem to have a funny way of coming true."

- Odo

A fundamental element of the Bajoran Religion are its numerous prophecies: foretelling of future events which are usually the result of encounters with Orbs. Other prophecies have come from apparent direct contact from the Bajoran Prophets. Many prophecies have been transcribed in the Bajoran ancient texts, although these ancient texts are extremely convoluted and difficult to understand, many of the prophecies have a certain way of coming true.

In 2374, Captain Benjamin Sisko perused Bajoran prophecies on the eve of the launch of Operation Return. When Admiral William Ross asked him whether he had gained any insights, Sisko replied that he was a long way from making any sense of them. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")
